Reliance Jio’s free services, which helped it amass 100 million users in 170 days, are set to end on March 31, meaning that customers will finally have to start paying to use 4G data. However, the telecom operator has launched a new subscription service called Jio Prime that aims to soften the blow on Reliance Jio users by providing the 4G data and other bundled services in the Jio Happy New Year Offer at ultra-low prices. Here’s all you need to know about the new Reliance Jio Prime subscription service.
What Is Reliance Jio Prime Subscription Plan?
The new Jio Prime service entails a one-time fee of Rs. 99, followed by monthly recharge packs to lower the cost of 4G data usage and other Reliance Jio services. The Jio Prime subscription plans are now available for consumers to choose from. Until March 31, both new Reliance Jio subscribers and those enrolled in the Happy New Offer can upgrade to the Jio Prime subscription for an annual fee of Rs. 99. This subscription has a validity until March 31, 2018. Apart from the one-time fee, Jio Prime subscribers will need to buy a Jio Prime plan or pack to avail the benefits, and can now choose from a wide variety of prepaid and postpaid options.
How to Subscribe to Reliance Jio Prime Subscription Plans?
So, how do you subscribe to Reliance Jio Prime? Reliance Jio says you can either head to the MyJio app to subscribe to the Jio Prime service or use the Jio.com website. You can also choose to visit any Jio store or Jio partner store near you to enroll for the plan.
When Can I Start My Reliance Jio Prime Subscription?
Reliance Jio notes that if new subscribers buy a Reliance Jio SIM before March 3, Friday, they will enjoy Jio Happy New Year benefits until March 31. If they buy a Jio SIM after March 4, Saturday, they will need to apply for the Rs. 99 Jio Prime subscription right away if they want to enjoy unlimited benefits until March 31, 2017.
What are the different Jio Prime Plans Available Now?
To recall, Reliance Jio had last week disclosed just the new Rs. 303 monthly tariff plan when it announced the subscription. The new Jio Prime plans are now listed on the company’s website and are divided for Postpaid and Prepaid customers, alongside the regular non-Prime plans.

Non-prime plans have the same tariffs, however, do not come with the same benefits. So for example, if you’re a Prime subscriber then a Rs. 19 one-day plan gets you 200MB data, but, non-Prime subscribers get just 100MB of data.
